ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS

Below are Michaela's musical compositions. The first playlist is part of a concept called "Tunesday", where she and a few friends compose music (usually on a weekly basis) based on artwork, poem, or a given theme. Then the second playlist is for a challenge where participants had to compose for 21 days straight. Enjoy!
